Muslims believe that the Qur’an, the holy book of Islam, was revealed to Muhammad (SAW) over a period of twenty-three years, starting with the initial revelation at Mount Hira. The Qur’an contains prayers, moral guidance, historical narrative, and promises of Paradise. It opens with a short prayer called the Fatiha, the most widely recited passage, and is divided into 114 chapters (suras) organized in descending length. For binding and reading purposes, manuscripts of the Qur’an are often divided into thirty equal parts, called juz’.
